Liao Zhai Great Kind People

Chapter 59

In the Daming Palace, the emperor lay weakly on the dragon bed, surrounded by the Queen Mother, the Eldest Princess, King Liang and others.

The emperor glanced around at the crowd, as if he had come out of the grief of losing Concubine Zhang, sighed slightly, and said, "Oh, it's my great summer event for my beloved concubine to become a fairy, and the whole country celebrates it for three days to show me Great Xiaford..."

Liang Wangdao: "Your Majesty, I will leave this matter to my younger brother. You can rest assured and recover soon, and you will be my Great Xiafu."

The emperor smiled wryly: "I know my body myself."

"Second brother, after I die, the land of Great Xia will fall on your shoulders. Remember what I said, all civil and military officials in this dynasty should be killed, only the servants...Zhao Deyan and Wang Taifu are trustworthy, and the champion of the new department Zhang Xiu can take on important responsibilities after a bit of training."

Liang Wang nodded slightly: "What the emperor said, I will definitely remember it in my heart."

"You... ugh!"

Seeing that he didn't take his words to heart, the emperor felt helpless for a while, knowing that it was useless to say more, sighed, and said to the eldest princess: "Huaiyu, from tomorrow onwards, you can go to practice with the national teacher. I have been in Daxia for 50 years, and I have treated her with respect and courtesy, even if I am dead, but the love is still there, you will definitely not suffer if you follow her."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Li Jinzhong who was sobbing softly from the corner of his eye, and said, "Li Jinzhong, you go to guard the imperial tomb, and you will be worthy of your name by accompanying me in the future."

Li Jinzhong fell to the ground crying bitterly: "Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your kindness!"

As the saying goes, once the emperor and the courtiers, Liang Wang is suspicious and self-willed. He has been with the emperor for many years and has done a lot of ridiculous things for the emperor. After the new emperor ascends the throne, he is the best candidate for the new emperor. .

When the emperor dies, his best end is probably to ransack his home and behead him...

Now that the emperor asked him to guard the imperial tomb, it was equivalent to saving his life in disguise, and he was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

After explaining the funeral, the emperor waved his hand to make everyone retreat, and closed their eyes to rest.

At the same time, Zhang Xiu had left the capital under the escort of Master Xuantian.

Seeing that Taoist Xuantian had no intention of going back at all, Zhang Xiu asked with a puzzled face: "Master, are you trying to send me to Jinhua?"

Taoist Xuantian glanced at him, looking far to the south: "I'm going to Hangzhou, and I happen to be on the way."

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Hangzhou is a good place. You can go and see Feilai Peak."

Taoist Xuantian was slightly stunned: "Is there the place you mentioned in Hangzhou? I have been to Hangzhou many times, why have I never heard of it?"

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the white tiger essence that had become the size of a kitten in his arms, and said with a smile, "There will be some in the future..."

Taoist Xuantian was confused, but she had already gotten used to Zhang Xiu's off-the-cuff words, she shook her head and stopped talking, quietly accompanied Zhang Xiu and others on the road.

At this time, Yan Feng suddenly asked: "By the way, why hasn't Ao Xue followed?"

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "I heard that Pang Cheng and others, for some reason, had a sudden impulse to entertain guests, so I asked Ao Xue to pack some food."

Yan Feng: "..."

Why do they have a big banquet for guests, don't you have any idea in your mind?

Just when he couldn't laugh or cry, a little green dragon flew across the sky, its body was full of chicken, duck, fish, abalone's wing belly, and even gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin.

Flying above them, Xiao Qinglong lowered his head to look, and Ao Xue's voice came out of his mouth: "Zhang Xiu, I've already packed it!"

Zhang Xiu nodded in satisfaction, and asked, "Have you sent the money?"

Ao Xue said proudly: "How could I forget, five cents and one penny are a lot, divided into five shares, and sent to five families respectively!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu was moved for a moment by her reciprocal behavior, and said, "Let's go, let's do good deeds without leaving names!"

Ao Xue in the sky was stunned.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu immediately sensed that something was wrong, she raised her eyes and asked, "Wait, you didn't write my name on the red envelope, did you?!"

Ao Xue said with a guilty conscience: "How is this possible, I can't read, I... I asked someone else to write it!"

Zhang Xiu: "..."

Does it make a difference! ! !

The next moment, Zhang Xiu took a deep breath, patted the old scalper hard, and shouted: "Drive!"

Then, in a flash of smoke, everyone was left behind.

At the same time, the residence of Prime Minister Pang Tong.

Pang Tong looked at the mansion that was about to be evacuated, couldn't recover for a while, picked up the red envelope left on the table, poured out a copper plate from it, stared blankly at the copper coin in his hand for a long time, his face gradually changed Become sad and angry.

"Zhang Xiu—"

The five court ministers were so angry that they couldn't sleep at night, Yan Feng and others also rushed for the whole night.

By the time they caught up with Zhang Xiu, they had already reached the territory of Jinhua Mansion.

Seeing Zhang Xiu riding an ox with a group of ragged people behind him, Yan Feng stepped forward with a puzzled face and asked, "These people..."

Zhang Xiu turned her head and saw that it was Yan Feng. She groaned and explained, "Oh, they are all disaster-stricken people in Jinhua Mansion. They went out to escape, and now I gather them up and take them back."

Yan Feng frowned and said: "Jinhua Mansion has suffered a disaster, what disaster?"

Zhang Xiu sighed and said, "Floods, the people's crops were washed away by the flood. In order to survive, they used the fields as collateral and borrowed food from the local gentry and local tyrants at very high interest rates. Now that the food is exhausted, they can only go out. escaped."

Yan Feng thought about it for a while, and then asked: "Using the land as collateral should be able to borrow a lot of food, right? Isn't this enough for them to survive the disaster?"

Zhang Xiu squinted at the naive Yan Feng, and said, "One mu of fertile land is exchanged for ten catties of grain, and the interest is compound interest. Now the money they owe will have to be repaid after 2000."

Yan Feng was furious when he heard the words: "These bastards, tell me who are the lenders, and I'll go and kill them!"

Zhang Xiu sighed slightly, and comforted him, "I'm the magistrate now, so I can't do such a thing as killing people and stealing goods, but don't worry, I will properly resolve this matter."

Yan Feng calmed down the anger in his heart slowly, and asked: "Tell me, what do you want to do, I will help you!"

"Don't worry about this. Although the dry food we brought is not much, the chicken, duck and fish are enough to feed the victims for two days."

Zhang Xiu rode on the bull, shaking his head and said: "As the saying goes, a new official takes office three times. This sentence has become an official rule. When we arrive at the government office, I will randomly select three lucky squires and give them Each of them lit a fire to show my respect for officialdom rules!"

Yan Feng: "..."

What does this sentence mean?I don't read much, so don't lie to me!
But the three gentry and local tyrants randomly selected by Zhang Xiu sounded really lucky...
